Online Painting Classes for Kids in Los Angeles
Painting classes where colour is taught as a craft
Painting is where most children’s art goes wrong, because nobody teaches them what colour actually does. They are handed a set and told to fill in. This class starts at the wheel: what mixes, what turns muddy, why a wash behaves differently from a flat fill, and how to layer without losing the drawing underneath.

Painting classes where colour is taught as a craft
Painting is not colouring in a finished outline. We spend the first weeks on the drawing beneath the paint, because a well-painted bad drawing is still a bad drawing. Children who arrive able to fill in neatly usually find this the hardest and most useful adjustment.
Greater Los Angeles is so spread out that an Indian family in Irvine and one in the San Fernando Valley may as well live in different cities, and the weekend drive to Artesia’s Pioneer Boulevard or the Malibu Hindu Temple is a real undertaking. Parents here come to us because the commute, not the interest, is what ends most classes.
Colour mixing taught properly, including what goes muddy and why
Four media compared: crayon, oil pastel, poster colour, watercolour
Wash, wet-on-wet and layering technique, not flat filling
Finished paintings, not exercises, from the first term
Batch timings for Los Angeles
Live classes on PT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Saturday and Sunday mornings Pacific fill first, landing in the Indian late evening. Weekday batches run 6:00 to 7:30 PM Pacific, which is the Indian early morning. We do not offer Pacific families pre-dawn slots.
Cerritos, Artesia, Irvine, Diamond Bar and the San Fernando Valley are where the Indian community around Los Angeles is concentrated.

Arts & Painting runs in person at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, and, like every class of ours, at our HSR Layout centre, 243, 16th Main Road, Sector 3, HSR Layout, Bengaluru 560102. Both use the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. Families outside Bengaluru take the online batches, which cover the identical curriculum.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For online painting classes for kids that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for PT. Saturday and Sunday mornings Pacific fill first, landing in the Indian late evening.
“The Ramayana classes are the highlight of my daughter’s week. She now teaches us the values she learns. As NRI parents in Dubai, this connection to our culture is priceless.”

Both, in that order. Exercises for the first few weeks, because mixing has to be learned somewhere, then complete paintings from the first term onward with something finished for the family showcase.
